do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your
sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

A thirsty sailor runs from his boat to the nearest bar and shouts
to the bartender, "Give me twenty shots of your best scotch, quick!" The bartender pours out the
shots, and the sailor drinks them as fast as he can. The bartender is very impressed and exclaims, "Wow.
I never saw anybody drink that fast." The sailor replies, "Well, you'd drink that fast too, if
you had what I have." The bartender says, "Oh my God! What is it? What do you have ?"
"Fifty cents !"
